Jo [to Adam]: I got a courtesy call from an old friend of mine at the FBI. Turns out the Feds have been investigating Dragga Financial for all sorts of shenanigans. In fact, they were kind enough to share their files with me, pretty much all of it. But they weren't too keen on seeing an NYPD computer digging around in their sandbox.
Adam: Okay, that's great. But I know why you're here. I've heard about your rep. So what, are you gonna blow the whistle on me now, too?
Jo: You don't want to go there. Me leaving the Bureau to come here was about conviction and evidence and doing my job.
Adam: Okay. I'm sorry. That w... that wasn't fair.

Lindsay: A few of these and a laptop, and she's able to write, record her own music, post it online for millions of people to hear, and then text and video-chat with God knows how many more.
Danny: Well, that's great, but how long before more is too much?
Lindsay: (laughs) I don't know, but... you know, we already opened the 21st century, Danny. I think it's too late to send it back.
Danny: Yeah, well, you're probably right about that, but just to be clear, though, Lucy is never going near a computer, okay? Just, ever.
Lindsay: Okay. But she does have, uh, a laptop lab at her preschool, and she can use my iPhone better than I can.
Danny: Damn it.

Adam: I shared the final moments of Sass Dumonde's life. I, I... I heard her music. I... I saw her joy. I-I... maybe even fell in love a little. And then, three minutes later, it was... it was just over.
Jo: When you cross paths with people like that, it's hard not to stop in your tracks. But believe me when I tell you... none of what you're doing now will bring her back. It will only bring you down.
Adam: What do I do now, though?
Jo: Go home. Go to bed. Come back in the morning ready to do what's right.

Hawkes: You got to be hurting a little bit today, huh, man?
Adam: I got a, uh, you know, three-day suspension. It's pretty painful.

Billy Travers [after his mother identifies him as the one who beat her and killed her husband]: I don't understand. Why would she do this to me?

Flack: Okay, Jules, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Everyone has it in them to do something like this. Everyone.
Jules Roday: No. Not Billy.
Flack: How long have you been going out?
Jules Roday: Five months.

Billy Travers: What are you doing?
Jo: Math. Because you're not man enough to admit what you did. Now I gotta do Math. I hate Math. Half hour by train to get to your parents' place. 25 minutes to stand outside and build the courage to kill them. Another 40 minutes inside to do the deed and change your clothes. 15 minutes to puke and then find a place to ditch the bloody clothes. Another half hour to travel to your room (she sums up) Five... ten... carry one... two hours and 20 minutes, give or take. Plenty of time for you to commit the murder and get back to your room.

Sid: The human skull is composed of one of the most durable substances found in nature. It takes approximately one ton to reduce the diameter of the skull by one centimeter. Unfortunately for Walter Travers, when you get whacked in the head multiple times with a blunt-force object, that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Jo: Yeah.
Sid: It's an interesting town. I've only been there once to testify before Congress.
Jo: Oh, on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences?

Jo: Is the mother gonna make it?
Mac: She's not conscious yet but the doctors say she'll pull through. It's nothing short of a miracle. I've never seen anyone take a beating like that and survive.
Jo: I wonder if I'd even want to. How do you go through life knowing your kid killed his father and tried his best to kill you?

Flack [to Manny Ravarra]: We're here about a homicide that was committed last night in Jamaica Estates. Couple was bludgeoned to : death.
Danny: And we don't make you for it. In fact, we have an eyewitness who says it wasn't you.
Manny Ravarra: All right.
Danny: But your cell mate, he says you did it. Said you were bragging about it.
Flack: But Owen Hicks is looking to get out from under a robbery charge that will most likely send him upstate for the next 15 years, so...
Danny: Yeah, not the most reliable source. We figured we'd come here, lay our cards on the table, give you an opportunity to respond.
Manny Ravarra: Let me see if I got this right. My crackhead cell mate gives me up for a murder that an eyewitness says was committed by someone else, and you two drop by here to give me the opportunity to say that I didn't do nothing? I got that right?
Flack: What about it, Manny?
Manny Ravarra: What about it? Sometimes crackheads actually tell the truth.
Danny: So what are you saying?
Manny Ravarra: I'm saying your eyewitness is wrong. I killed that couple.

Lindsay: (about Billy Travers) He was either extremely careful or we have to consider that he didn't do this.
Mac: At the scene, I thought that might be the only chance to talk to her. When they said there was no forced entry, that prompted me to show her a photo of her family.
Lindsay: And she was responsive, right?
Mac: She was. She looked me in the eye and understood me. But maybe I pushed too hard in the moment.

Flack: (sitting in the sidewalk) I can just picture Manny Ravarra, sitting the cafeteria with a stupid grin on his face, eating a bologna sandwich, gloating to the other inmates how two mope detectives are knee-deep in crap for absolutely no reason.
Danny: (coming out of the sewer) Actually, I only see one mope detective down here. You want to join me?
Flack: I don't do sewers. It's like he said... he's doing life, he's got nothing to lose, so why not jerk us around?

Mac: Mrs. Travers, do you remember what happened last night?
Grace Travers: No. I just remember waking up in this room.
Mac: I realize this is hard, but can you tell me why your son would have done this?
Grace Travers: Billy?
Mac: Yes.
Grace Travers: You think Billy did this to me?
Mac: Last night, you identified your son. To me. I showed you a photograph and you indicated that he had done this.
Grace Travers: No... no, I did no such thing. No, Billy didn't do this. He would never do anything to hurt me or his father.
Mac: Mrs. Travers, I know you've been through a lot...
Grace Travers: Who are you?
Mac: My name is Mac Taylor.
Grace Travers: Why did you come here? To tell me that my son did this to me? To tell me these lies?
Mac: I don't want to upset you...

Sid: Oftentimes, damage to the temporal lobe results in seizures and those seizures have a tendency to start in the hands.
Mac: So it's possible the movement of her finger up and down was involuntary. You think I made a mistake showing her the photograph?
Sid: Well, like you said, she was responsive and obeying commands. I hate to play devil's advocate here, Mac, but a defense attorney would have a field day with that ID. Bottom line, we don't have a picture of what happened in her brain when she moved her finger. So there's just no way to know if her ID is reliable.
Mac: And now she's defending her son.

Adam: (to Owen Hicks; impersonating a polygraph examiner) I understand there's a question to the veracity of certain statements that you may or may not have made and or heard during your confinement in the fine institution known as Rikers Island. Is that correct?

Adam: Are you playing games with me, son?

Adam: Because any heretofore games will not be tolerated. Okay?

And, based on the amount of sweat that's accumulated on your forehead... gross... is more than likely.

Mac: Uncovering mistakes made by your lab and alerting defense counsel was part of your oath. Still is.
Jo: Tell that to Senator Matthews. I still get letters from him blaming me for the outcome of his daughter's case. The mistake I uncovered was made by a guy named Frank Waters. Impeccable reputation. I worked with Frank Waters for 12 years, Mac. I went to his wedding, his kids' birthdays. So when I discovered he destroyed a document detailing a mistake he made interpreting DNA results, trust became just another word and Serena Matthews' rapist went free.
Mac: You had to make it public.
Jo: It was a decision I don't regret making and I'd make it again.

Flack [about Paul Benson]: I don't get it. This guy was the senior class president, captain of the soccer team, Dean's list. This kid had everything going for him back in 2002. He was the guy you love to hate in every John Hughes film.
Danny: He was even dating the prom queen, Sarah Dufresne.
Flack: Apparently dating her wasn't enough (reads from Benson's file) "I told him I wanted to wait, that if he loved me, he would respect that I wanted to wait. He grabbed my arms and pinned me down." One minute he's Harvard bound, next he's Rikers bound.
